We are not a law firm.
Last updated: 2026-05-03
- Agentic, Data & Source is a software platform. It is not a law firm. It is not your lawyer.
- Output from ADS is legal information and research assistance, not legal advice.
- Using ADS does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- Communications with ADS are not protected by attorney-client privilege.
- The four AI personas (PARA, AGENTIC, DATA, SOURCE) are AI legal-research assistants. They are not attorneys. They are not paralegals supervised by attorneys. They are software.
What ADS does
- Helps you research case law, statutes, and procedural rules
- Drafts documents from descriptions you provide
- Walks through procedural how-to questions ("how do I file X in Y state")
- Holds an audio consultation when you redeem a phone code
What ADS does not do
- Advise on whether your case has merit
- Represent you in court
- Tell you whether to settle, file, or take any specific action
- Substitute for a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction
Why this matters
Practicing law without a license is a crime in every U.S. state. To stay clearly on the right side of that line — and to protect you from believing the platform is something it isn't — we make these limits explicit, repeatedly. The disclaimer is not a formality. It is the truth.
AI hallucination notice
AI models sometimes fabricate citations — they generate text that looks like a real case but isn't. Lawyers have been sanctioned for filing AI-generated briefs without verifying citations. ADS includes safety measures to reduce this, but you remain responsible for verifying every citation in any document or response before you rely on it for any legal purpose.
Do not file in court anything generated by ADS without verifying every cited case, statute, and rule.
When to consult a real attorney
- If you have an active litigation matter or are about to start one
- If you are negotiating an important contract
- If you are forming a business entity for non-trivial assets
- If a family-law matter involves minors
- If a criminal matter is involved
- If a deadline (statute of limitations, response window) is approaching
- Honestly: if any of this affects your real life in a real way
Finding a lawyer
If you cannot afford a lawyer, your local Legal Aid office is usually free for income-qualified individuals. Most state bars have a lawyer referral service. Pro bono clinics exist in most large cities. Court self-help centers can answer procedural questions for free.
Founder note
The founder of ADS is litigating his own active federal cases pro se. He built this platform because he needed it himself. Having pro se experience does not make him your lawyer, and using a tool he built does not get you any of the protections of having a lawyer. Treat ADS as research help, not as counsel.
